How many ways are there to describe the Fibonacci sequence in Perl 6?
I've been looking at the various ways of constructing lazy lists in Perl 6 and I would like to collect all of the concise ways of describing the Fibonacci sequence.
I will start this off with the three from masak's journal:
my @fibs := (0, 1, -> $a, $b { $a + $b } ... *);
my @fibs := (0, 1, { $^a + $^b } ... *);
my @fibs := (0, 1, *+* ... *);
I was thinking something like this would also work, but I think I have the syntax wrong:
my @fibs := (0, 1, (@fibs Z+ @fibs[1..*]));
Something there is eager (the slice?) and causes Rakudo to enter an infinite loop. It's a translation of the Haskell definition:
fibs = 0 : 1 : zipWith (+) fibs (tail fib开发者_运维技巧s)
Update:
Seems like the problem with the zipWith
example is the @fibs[1..*]
slice. if tail
is defined as sub tail (@x) {my $i = 1; {@x[$i++]}...*}
then it works properly. I would be interested to know why the slice isn't lazy from anyone familiar with Rakudo's internals.
Another nice one is:
my @fibs := (0, [\+] 1, @fibs);
The shortest seems to be
my @fibs := ^2,*+*...*;
You can use the magic of the golden ratio: let φ=(sqrt(5)+1)/2, and define fib(n)=(φn+(1-φ)n)/sqrt(5).
You can convert such a function into a lazy list in the obvious way: In Haskell the following works:
fibs=genfibs 0 where genfibs n=(round (fib n)):genfibs (n+1)
I'm afraid my Perl 6 knowledge isn't up to translating this, sorry! Anyone who edits this answer to edit in the codes will earn my gratitude.
A more testing question would be to list ways of generating the lazy list of Hamming numbers.
